Funding renewable projects across the world

June 05, 2026

The transition to renewable electricity continues to be one of the most pressing global challenges.

  • Electricity generation is a large source of global emissions
  • Green bonds support net zero through cleaner electricity

Around two thirds of global emissions come from electricity generation.

Renewables and low carbon energy is a fundamental requirement in the transition to a net zero world.

Regnan Credit Impact Trust and Pendal Sustainable Australian Fixed Interest Fund invested in an AUD green bond by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments).

CPP Investments is controlled by the Canadian government and is one of the largest pension funds in the world.

It issued its first green bond in 2018[1] and continues to raise funds for investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency, low carbon and clean transportation and green buildings.

In the past, these types of bonds have invested in renewable energy projects across the world.

This includes two wind parks in northeastern Brazil run by Votorantim Energia, six wind and solar power projects in Canada operated by Cordelio Power, and three offshore wind farms in France that are under construction by Maple Power.

We anticipate this green bond to invest in similar types of projects.

A component of investing in this green bond includes reporting of environmental impact indicators associated with underlying projects.

This includes renewable energy generated per year, emissions avoided, waste reused or recycled, and reduction in air pollutants due to implementing low carbon and clean transportation.
